In the face of a raging war elephant, the fearless cavalry chose to face death, and they galloped close to each other, attacking the eyes of the war elephant or the rider of the war elephant.

The eyes of the war elephant are very large, for the cavalry skilled in archery and horses, this is a fatal weakness, as long as the war elephant is blinded by arrows, the opponent can't even see the road, can still impact their own military formation?

Secondly, if the rider of the war elephant is shot to death, the war elephant that loses control will collide with each other and become a mess.

The rider sits on top of the elephant's head, unlike other soldiers, who have a small building to cover, even if they are wearing armor, but as long as they get close and fire arrows, they can also shoot them to death, so those who are skilled in archery among the cavalry of the Eastern Army do not use the lance but hold a riding bow, ready to use archery to defeat the enemy.

The plan of the cavalry of the Eastern Army, of course, the Western Army was wary of this, since the war elephants were put into battle, if they did not send troops to protect them, the war elephants would sooner or later be besieged by the enemy and die, so when the cavalry of the Eastern Army began to rush towards the war elephants, the cavalry of the Western Army also dispatched.

Liu Boer, the master of the Hulin Army, led the cavalry forward to fight with the war elephants, such as the war elephants entering the wall are not shoulder to shoulder, and there is enough gap between the two war elephants for a cavalry to pass.

However, the elephant's body was somewhat swaying as it advanced, and it was very risky for the cavalry to pass through the gaps between the moving elephants, as long as they accidentally touched the elephant's body, they would fall and be trampled to death by the elephant.

If a horse trips over a corpse strewn across the ground, the cavalry who then falls may fall at the feet of the war elephant and will also be trampled to death.

But this is not a reason to stop the attack, the enemy cavalry can attack against the war elephants, so why should your own cavalry hide behind the war elephants and wait for victory to come?

Liu Boer led the cavalry through the herd of war elephants, met the oncoming enemy cavalry, shot a round of arrows, abandoned the bow and held the lance and began to meet the hedge.

It is said that the cavalry of the northern land has been dealing with horses since they were five or six years old, and they can be proficient in bows and horses at the age of ten years, while the cavalry of the Hulin Army only came into contact with war horses and learned to ride horses when they were building an army.

Liu Boer, who was born in a poor family, like most of his subordinates, couldn't even eat enough before joining the army, and his family didn't have a single acre of land.

The monk who became a monk halfway through the way is comparable to the monk who grew up in the temple since he was a child, so even after nearly ten years of hard training, the riding skills and riding skills of the Hulin Army cavalry are still worse than those in the north, and the combat experience is even more difficult to match.

More than one person once said that the cavalry of the Tiger Forest Army was far from the real cavalry, but it was just a dog guarding the yard, and it would only circle around the yard, not a wolf, let alone a tiger.

The Chen army, which is not strong in cavalry, can face the skilled northland cavalry, and the odds of victory are not great.

The words are a little ugly, but Liu Boer knows that it is reasonable, if the cavalry wants to grow, it must be trained hard and there are a large number of war horses, although the king of Xiyang racked his brains to get horses, but the number of war horses of the Hulin army has not been much.

There is no decent grassland in Huangzhou for war horses to gallop, so the cavalry of the Hulin Army is really a group of dogs in the yard?

No, we have the courage to be fearless even in the face of a strong enemy, not to mention discipline!

Liu Boer blew the horn, and the cavalry formed a horizontal formation in groups of ten horsemen, like a small wall in motion, and these small walls formed a long wall with each other, like a breakwater in front of the war elephants, facing the roaring enemy horses.

The so-called "advancing like a wall" does not mean that the cavalry and the cavalry are attached shoulder to shoulder, just like the war elephants, there is a gap between the cavalry and the cavalry, and even a horse can pass through it.

This rigid tactical formation is to use discipline to make up for the shortcomings in skill, and to use the strength of the group to confront the elite enemy cavalry.

The cavalry officers of the Tiger Forest Army knew that if they were fighting with the Northland cavalry in a heads-up or skirmish, they would not be the opponent of those cavalry, and in a large-scale confrontation, they firmly believed that whoever had strict discipline would win.

When the infantry fights, they must form a formation, the brave cannot advance, the cowardly cannot retreat, and only by relying on the strength of the group can the final victory be obtained, and in the face of the phalanx, individual bravery is useless.

Isn't it true of infantry engagements, and isn't it true of cavalry engagements?

The cavalry of the Hulin Army, which formed a horizontal formation, collided with the cavalry of the Eastern Army that was surging like a wave, and the people on the battlefield turned on their backs, and blood was splashed everywhere.

In order to maintain the rigid small horizontal formation, the cavalry of the Tiger Forest Army actually had no free space to move, and many cavalry were in fixed positions, and were easily stabbed down by the enemy with horse lances, and many small horizontal formations at the forefront of the battle line disappeared into the enemy cavalry in an instant.

However, with the 'wall' they formed with flesh and blood, they directly knocked down many enemy horsemen, providing an opportunity for their follow-up comrades.

In order to avoid this "wall" of activity, the formation of the Eastern cavalry soon became more and more scattered, if it was in the wide grassland, or in the endless plain, they could scatter in all directions, hunt like wolves at will, and play with their prey to death.

But in this battlefield, their area of activity is seriously compressed, and there are military formations on the left and right, and they cannot make a large-scale detour, so they can only go straight.

In the face of the well-disciplined and neatly formed Hulin Army cavalry, no matter how good the cavalry skills of the Eastern Army were, the formation was very loose, and when hedging, it was often two or three people facing ten people, just like a warrior who attacked the phalanx alone, except for being stabbed into a honeycomb, there was no possibility of breaking the formation.

No matter how exquisite his personal skills are, he only has a pair of eyes and a pair of hands, and he can avoid poking the horse lance in front of him, but he can't dodge the poke next to another horse lance, and the only way is not to dodge or dodge, and die with an enemy.

Swap your life for a chance to crush the enemy.

Not everyone has such an awareness, so in the face of the well-disciplined and dull Hulin Army cavalry, the cavalry of the Eastern Army, which had superb personal skills, obviously fell behind, and the fierce charge was like a wave slapping on the river embankment, and it soon shattered and collapsed.

The cavalry collapsed, but the team that followed the attack of the Eastern Army's main formation was still advancing, it was a brave man in heavy armor and holding a sword, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the blade, reflecting a cold light.

Chopping horse sword, as the name suggests, this sword can chop horses, although it has a sword name, it is a double-edged long-handled weapon, which can be used as a short spear, the method is to poke and stab, and it can also be used as a long-handled knife, the method is to cut and chop.

When the formation is tight, the cut can only be cut from the top down.

Even so, the sword can also cut the cavalry into two pieces, and even after the head is slashed, it can also be stabbed forward or reversed.

The sword with both offense and defense is full of weight, not just anyone can use it well, and the requirements for arm strength and physical strength are also very high, and the courage to meet the cavalry and war elephants of the Western Army is the elite of the elite.

They are large and battle-hardened, and they are responsible for plugging gaps in the battle line.

There is no room for loss in this formation, and the battle line must be maintained, and once the enemy war elephants break through into the central army, it means that the left army and the right army will be cut off, and it will be very easy for the enemy army to break through one by one.

Therefore, even if it is a war elephant that rushes over, the brave men are fearless.

Looking at the enemy cavalry that broke through their own cavalry, and looking at the war elephants shaped like the city wall behind them, the brave men held their swords, and under the cover of the spearmen, accompanied by the blood-boiling drums of the formation, they lined up in a neat horizontal formation and strode towards the enemy.

The cavalry of the Hulin Army, which had experienced a bloody battle, did not rush to attack the enemy formation, and many people dismounted and helped up their comrades who had fallen from their horses and were wounded, and moved to the rear on their horses, giving way to the war elephants.

In the face of the flickering cold light of the enemy formation, the pilot blew the horn, the war elephant's eyes were scarlet, obviously in a state of excitement, striding forward, the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, just when the war elephant roared and was about to accelerate the charge, the eastern army bravely took the lead.

The shouts in the battle array sounded like a tide: "Break the enemy!" ”
